I need to do some remodeling in a commercial kitchen that involves drilling a
lot of holes in stainless steel. I never realized the stuff is so hard to
drill
or so tough on drills. What drill speed should I be using and how much feed
pressure is best? TIA Clint


Buy a bunch of cobalt drill bits the right diameter.
Cobalt bits that small only cost about a $1 each
I buy bags of 10.

If the bits have ground spit tips then center punching is unnecessary.
